Google Base/Google Shopping 

I have started to use the Google Base feature to advertise products directly through the Google Product Search service.  I'm currently using the bulk upload feature but there is an API option.  It would be very nice if you could consider an interface to Google Base in the future.

Re: Google Base/Google Shopping 

Since upgrading to V2, I can no longer 'predict' the URL to my products through using the guid and the static first and last parts of the URL.  The result is that I can't use Google Base at all now, even as a CSV upload option.  Do you have an estimated date as to when the Google Base API interface might be implemented?

Actually it works with the URLs like http://www.youdomain/tabid/55/pid/1000/default.aspx. So it's still same as before. The only thing changed is that instead of productid, now you have pid.

You know, I never realised I could change the "your-product-name.aspx" with "default.aspx".  That does bring me a lot closer.  I used to export the guid field to get the middle section.  I'm not in front of my server atm.  Could you give me the field name from the products table that has the integer pid value in it and I'll run a quick test from here now?  Thanks.

 

-Edit-

Don't worry, I've found it.  NID. :)

Re: Google Base/Google Shopping 

All working like a charm.  Got my SQL extract running, my Excel converter to get it in the right format for Google running.  Posted my CSV file and I've got my products listed again.  I'm very happy.  Thanks for the pointer. :)
